Skunky and wild,
Honeyed and golden,
It dances differently in every soul, rising suddenly like smoke from a hidden flame.
It moves ahead of one’s own steps, whispering its truths to others before a word is ever spoken.
It clears the path—good or grim,
It spreads fast, no time to stall,
Like fire in the wind, it touches all.
Like the soul’s signature, it is loud in silence
It shines to be the heart of the many – The human character.
Who You Are.
Influence begins at the core of who you are—whether storm-hearted or garden-born. Society doesn’t just emerge on its own; it is built by individuals, communities, and a collective of people who shape and define it. Even with this understanding, we cannot ignore the truth that society is made up of individuals – each carrying unique personalities and character traits. These traits, however, are shaped by cultural norms, upbringing, and life experiences, all of which contribute to the voices that eventually speak out and influence the world.
I am all for people embracing their originality—we need more of that. But it shouldn’t be an excuse to lose the anchor of character. Real, lasting originality stands on strong character and a solid sense of identity. That is the kind of foundation that keeps empires standing, even when the leaders are no longer in the room.
Knowing who you are—and choosing the path of transformation that keeps you polished, even as the world tries to shape you (you choose not to align with society’s molds).
These days, the easiest way to spark influence isn’t just by doing—it’s by becoming. When influence is your lifestyle, not your strategy, it speaks for you even when you’re not trying.
When you depict challenging yet essential qualities, such as making decisions and standing firm in them, showing kindness even in your toughest moments, upholding the truth no matter the cost, and remaining honest and faithful, even when it’s difficult.
These traits would help solidify your individuality and help to become a LIMITLESS LIGHT THAT PROFESSES GODLINESS WITH GOOD WORKS!
As I mentioned earlier, building a society and making a lasting impact requires all of us. But it begins with you and me—choosing to embrace the inner shift that transforms the heart and ultimately influences the world.
